2009 California Insurance Code - Section 12280-12281 :: Chapter 4. Agents

12280.  A club agent doing business in this State shall not execute,
issue or deliver any service contract to any person owning or
operating motor vehicles without first obtaining a license from the
commissioner.

12280.2.  The fee for filing application for license as motor club
agent is the same as that for filing application for license as
insurance agent and the provisions of Chapter 5 (commencing with
Section 1621), Part 2, Division 1, applicable to insurance agents are
applicable to motor club agents and their licenses.
   Insurance agents, brokers, and solicitors licensed under Chapter 5
(commencing with Section 1621), Part 2, Division 1, need not be
licensed to act as motor club agents under this article.
   This section shall not permit a motor club agent to have a
certificate of convenience nor a nonresident license, but shall
require only club appointments, and shall not require the keeping of
records or fiduciary accounts. Appropriate licenses and license
applications may be prescribed by the commissioner.

12281.  Without first obtaining such license, a club agent shall not
collect or receive from any person, in advance of the execution,
issuance or delivery of any such service contract, any money or other
thing of value upon any promise or agreement to execute, issue or
deliver any such service contract.
